Couldn't wait...curiosity and beer got the best of me...
I downloaded mytube on my sd card cloned diablo turbo on a n800 ...fired up the program raw untampered.
Started up fine...it shows playlists...current..top vids...etc.
Hitting the play button...no.
Hitting the download button ..no
doesn't happen...
unlesssss.
you use the upper navigation bar and select "open selection in browser" and voila...bam. she goes...(
I'm sure downloading from youtube site directly is viable as well...haven't bothered just yet...)
even on the rusty-dusty n800...she goes...
it takes a second to start up..and there is about 10-20 seconds where it is laggy trying to play catch up..

I'm sure downloading from youtube site directly is viable as well.
I didn't bother turning up my n800's performance nor the youtube setting down to something lower so it was at the average output...not at extreme hd
pretty impressive....hehe..old betsy's still got it...got enough of it to stream straight from youtube in fact.

Me I watch podcasts of my national news ...sometimes the stream...but I figured youtube...mytube anytube was probably done on the n8x0...long time ago. Surprised me. Not that I'll bother with it personally...but ..shows that n8x0's still got it baby...stutters for the 1st bit...but she stops that and runs pretty decent...


I'll try the patch now...
nope.
no difference in the behaviour of mytube.
the thing is ...mytube prolly needs the skillz of the maker...or someone just as fluent to gently work it to the "latest" youtube demands...better sooner than later in my opinion...later means it may be a herculean effort with a lot of work needed...if not simply scrapping the current version of mytube and starting over being easier at that point.

addendum: thinking about it...even though mytube needs updating...
most definitely..for sure...
in it's current state it does at least make ...for the time being....a decent youtube browsing environment...before opening your selection in browser....
